One reason for the difference could be that heating in consumers homes is very much dependent on electricity (whether or not the actual heating is gas-powered notwithstanding), whereas in other countries there may be more woodfired heating,

Current monitors can be raised on their stand, maybe future monitors could be lowered in front of whatever they’re on top of?

Modern engines also do a lot of streaming data to VRAM, rather than loading everything up front. So it’s not necessarily a single delay and could very well impact framerates etc.

People are already tired, but there’s simply not enough of them to effect any change. Especially when opposing large, well funded lobbies that are de facto writing the relevant laws in the US and EU. I don’t know how we’re going to be able

Prions are proteins and need to be denatured to be rendered harmless. Cooking is generally not enough to achieve this. See WHO guidelines for prion sterilization as mentioned in the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Maybe, but plenty of RHEL8 packages still package versions from 10+ years ago.

It might have something to do with all the cryptobro’s pushing get-rich-quick-schemes. Crypto-enthusiasts ignore how regulations existed for good reasons before regulatory capture made a mess of things. Not everyone likes the idea of an ana

Only meat diet has some very serious downsides, though. It’s very environmentally unfriendly and because of the high cost it’s available to a very few people. That makes it rather hard to recommend, regardless of potential health upsides.

What about bioaccumulation, though? Doesn’t inertness also make it more likely to stick around somewhere in the foodchain?

Just a built in sim card with very cheap data rates works. Apparently this viewing data is worth quite a bit of money on the data markets.

Although individual bees don’t live very long, all bees in a hive are from eggs laid by a single queen. So genetically a generation would be a hive. IIRC hives swarm (i.e. procreate) roughly once a year.

What a nihilistic view. Not every aspect that’s part of your job needs to be included in your variable compensation in order to be done, does it?

Many of the target users are probably perfect touch typists. But according to the product comparison the SimulaVR also has handtracking. I wonder if it'd be possible to track hands and keyboard accurately enough for those who are not p

Indeed, but maybe the NUC-included-model is important for the margin? Although from the price difference between the models that might not even be the case.

It's very doable to disable google analytics for EU visitors.

The ruling against google analytics in France is quite simple: google analytics as used by an unnamed website was not compliant with GDPR, because it exports user data to a country that has privacy laws that are not up to GDPR standards, wh

I’m not saying it’s not what voters want , I’m saying they’re not going to vote for it. There’s a difference. The average voter has a fairly limited horizon in terms of what they see and understand about what’s good for society. And in a d

Part of the job of lawmakers is, intriguingly enough, deciding what’s good for voters. This would be among those things. Would voters vote for this specific law? Probably not. But they probably wouldn’t vote out the representatives who wro

I don’t think the solution here is a technical one. This should just be solved by legislation. Google Analytics has been recently ruled illegal in multiple European countries. And either this already is illegal under the same laws or it sho

Indeed. Similarly to how a game like Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis is great partly because of the lack of exploration.

Xcode has a decent graphics debugger as well, or so I’ve heard.

The advertising in the 80’s and 90’s often also served as a kind of catalogue because there was no other way to find things except word of mouth. That’s a solved problem with the modern internet, if you want to find a type of game, find a g

With all the M&As by big tech it hardly seems worth funding European startups as they’ll just be gobbled up like US startups. That needs to change first. Although maybe Europeans are slightly less inclined to want to exit at the first f

Except that as masklinn writes above, methane gets converted into CO2 and so over its full lifecycle is worse by about a factor of 25.

That only works for non-essentials. So this could mean that many essential products have come to depend on chips and so demand can only drop so far.

Absolutely. But there’s also a large number of Chinese (rather than Chinese-American or Chinese-[European]) scientists working at Western institutes on Chinese grants. And things become a lot trickier there. Especially as there have been mo

Absolutely. But it is also helpful to for example subsidize low carbon energy, rather than solar and hydro specifically, because it allows for innovations outside of those specific options.

Not really, the most abundant life forms on earth consume CO2 to grow. Of course not at the rate we would like (especially with current coverage and that we’re still freeing more carbon daily by chopping down more forests).

Shame this is being downvoted. Because of course an upside down population pyramid is going to influence policies. The needs of younger people will simply get dismissed more and more as the population ages.

While nuclear has different pollution than fossil fuels, one can hardly call it green with the everlasting poison it produces.
